How can I add different background images to custom navigation buttons?

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://garlic-vanilla-9jsw.squarespace.com/config/

I used the following code I found to create a second navigation button, to switch from English and Spanish on the fly. I'd like to use flags instead of abbreviations but I'm not sure what to do now that I have a second button and it uses such a long string of code, don't know if I have to inject some code in here or in a new string. I hope someone can help, thanks!

Please check your image urls. It doesn't exist.

I'm having trouble with custom files now for some reason, they show up as blank and the link doesn't work, but previously uploaded files don't do this. I used external urls and it worked like a charm! Thank you!

One final question: can it be done in the mobile dropdown menu? I tried pasting the same string after "@media only screen and (max-width: 768px)" but it did nothing.

Use this code

/* Flags */
.header-menu-cta>a:first-child {
    background-image: url(https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2020/06/01/10/02/puffin-5246026__340.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center;
    color: transparent !important;
}
.header-menu-cta>a:last-child {
    background-image: url(https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/05/05/07/00/bride-6230420__340.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center;
    color: transparent !important;
}

I'll have to find better pics but that definitely did the trick. Thank you so much!
